Jurnal Ilmiah Metadata is published three (3) times a year, with regular issues released in January, May, and September.

The journal follows a consistent publication schedule to ensure the timely dissemination of high-quality, peer-reviewed scientific research. Accepted manuscripts are published in the scheduled issue after successfully completing the editorial process, double-blind peer review, revision (if required), copyediting, proofreading, and final approval by the Editorial Board.

Authors are encouraged to submit their manuscripts throughout the year, as submissions are accepted on a rolling basis and processed according to the journal's editorial workflow. Manuscripts that have successfully completed all stages of review and editing will be assigned to the nearest available issue based on editorial scheduling.
